Since the year 1950, the locality has been in the business of sculpting high quality idols of Hindu deities. It is home to several talented potters who toil tirelessly to create clay idols.
The artisans start by making a bamboo frame for the idol, called a kathamo. They bind straw over it to give it structure, and then apply clay on top to give it its final shape. After drying the statue in the sun for a few days, they paint and decorate it. A layer of fine jute fibers mixed with clay is used for giving smooth layers. Various shapes make the basic structure of the idol of Goddess Durga. The armature is made by using dry rice grass, sizes of bamboo sticks tied with jute string. Each body frame is fastened to make a complete idol except the head.
